How to: Securing hardware components and the connection enablers in the VCU

With the increasing focus on software-defined vehicles (SDVs) in the automotive industry there is an inherent centralization of functionalities into Vehicle Control Units (VCUs). Consequently, said VCUs become the brains of an SDV, supporting various applications from infotainment services to safety-critical assistants. However, this also makes them a primary target for future threat actors, especially given the powerful connectivity of modern vehicles.

Attendees will gain insights into real-world VCU security challenges and learn about the latest threats targeting these critical components. The session will also cover best practices for securing VCU hardware, including key components and connection enablers, ensuring that vehicles remain secure throughout their lifecycle. Join our cybersecurity experts as they share our vision of how we can fortify VCU systems together and be prepared for the future of automotive cybersecurity.
